Change Oil Filter
Some engines are equipped with an oil filter. Replace
the oil filter every other oil change, in accordance with
the “Oil Change Intervals” table on page 8. Always
use a genuine Kohler oil filter, Part No. 52 050 02, and
replace as follows:

2.
3 .

.
Drain the oil from the engine crankcase.
Allow the oil filter to drain.
Remove the old filter and wipe the filter adapter
gasket surface.
Place a new replacement filter in a shallow pan
with the open end up. Pour new oil of the proper
type, in through the threaded center hole. Stop
pouring when the oil reaches the bottom of the
threads.
Put a drop of oil on your fingertip and wipe it on
the rubber gasket. Allow a minute or two for the
oil to be absorbed by the filter material then
install it on the engine. Turn the oil filter clockwise
until rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter,
then tighten filter an additional l/2 turn.
Reinstall drain plug. Make sure it is tight.
Fill the crankcase with new oil of the proper type
to the ‘IF” mark on the dipstick. Add an additional
l/2 pint of oil for the filter capacity. See
“Specifications” on page 15.
Test run the engine to check for leaks. Stop the
engine, allow a minute for the oil to drain down,
and recheck the level on the dipstick. Make sure
oil level is up to but not over the “F” mark on the
dipstick.
